Perched on a sprawling 66-acre working winery near Baramati, Hotel Irada is a remarkable fusion of heritage, nature, and contemporary design. Once the backdrop for the extravagant gatherings of Vijay Mallya, this estate has been thoughtfully transformed into a neoclassical haven that honors its past while embracing the new era of hospitality. Surrounded by vast expanses of reserve forest and rolling grasslands, the hotel offers guests a tranquil escape where every detail speaks of soul and sophistication.
Hotel Irada’s architecture and interiors blend historic grandeur with modern elegance—highlighted by a sweeping palm-lined driveway, majestic staircases guarded by lion sculptures, and a stunning 19ft by 7ft handwoven Jaipur Rugs installation celebrating the estate’s vibrant life. Its rooms provide stylish comfort set against breathtaking views of wildflower meadows, serene lakes, and roaming chinkara herds, making it a sanctuary for wellness seekers and nature lovers alike.
To enrich the guest experience across this expansive estate, Astys curated and installed a sophisticated audio system designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings and opulent interiors of Hotel Irada. The soundscape balances clarity, power, and subtlety across a variety of spaces—from the airy lobby and open gardens to indoor lounges and wellness areas.
The sound system features Work Pro speakers tailored for different environments: IC 8S ceiling speakers deliver crystal-clear sound in finer indoor spaces, while Neo 5 and Athos series speakers provide rich, full-bodied audio throughout larger indoor and outdoor areas. The weatherproof NGS 80 garden speakers ensure that even open-air settings echo with natural-sounding music. Deep bass rhythms are powered by the Work Pro Athos B15 subwoofer, providing a warm and immersive low end.
Reliable amplification is handled by sturdy Work Pro PA 1254 and Beta3 DT 2004 amplifiers, ensuring seamless sound delivery. The system’s media management is anchored by a premium media player, enhanced with Yamaha MG10XU and MG06 analog mixers for precise control. On nights when live DJ performances enliven the atmosphere, the Pioneer XDJ-RX3 console together with EV Evolve 50TB and 50M-SB-EU speakers provide captivating, crystal-clear sound that fills the space without overpowering the estate’s serene vibe.
